Shalane's easily the most exciting-to-watch distance runner of our time. I hope she and Kara both come home with hardware.

GO SHALANE!

No need to hate on Shalane in favor of Kara -- both are amazing and inspiring; just different personalities. I'll be pulling for both of them (and Amy, too)!

The brass at the Canadian olympic federation should take not of this interview.
Canada won't send "spectator" athletes to the games. Shalane shows us just how valuable that international experience on the big stage can be so valuable to a developing athlete.

If you look up the word healthy in the dictionary you will see her picture. Very intense and a lot nicer than I thought. Run hard Shalane, I'm sure you will, good things will come.

It would have been hard going in with everyone expecting you to win and make the team with so many desperate runners trying to make the team: well done!

Yeah   June 30, 2008 at 7:33pm
she does seem a bit shy. I like that in an athlete... not many winners are as humble as she is. not like we need any more over-confident y people. she's great-love it!
